Cybersecurity and Business Continuity: Protecting Your Institution’s Infrastructure, Data, and Reputation

Tuesday, October 26 | 1:00PM–4:00PM ET | 108AB, 100 Level
Viewing Location: Philadelphia
Session Type: Industry Led
Delivery Format: Preconference Workshop Session

One situation all IT leaders dread is receiving notice from a nefarious actor who has infiltrated an on-premises data center and is holding data for ransom. Ransomware is top of mind for academic institutions, along with the priorities of disaster recovery and business continuity. Whether the threat is from a natural disaster, technical failure, or malicious action, your team needs to ensure the security of your campus and research and then be prepared to recover from an outage. Washington University and the University of California San Diego Health will share their cybersecurity strategies and architecture so we can learn from their experience. Join us to see how cloud-based security can help your campus get ready to mitigate disruption in a fast, reliable, and cost-effective way. 
•        Discover common higher education security challenges
